So as you already know I'm a big fan of doing arts with children from recycled stuff. These cartoon like characters are made of amazon delivery boxes. The kids absolutely love them, we actually prepared a theater and gave each of them a personality of its own ! How do you find them and whats your opinion about it ? It's a great way to keep the little ones busy and creative ! :)

I love them. Seeing them can definitely wake up one's artistic talent. I hope I do have a talent like you when it comes to arts too.

Tnx, All you need is a little plan ! I just drew the images and the rest was done by the kids ( coloring, cutting and putting the eyes of course) ! Give it a try, it's a piece of cake which is delicious too ;) !

The characters are really cute, no wonder the children are having fun with them! We should turn back to childhood from time to time, being creative is like meditating.

What a great idea! I think that if it's corrugated cardboard (I don't remember what the boxes are like) you could use a pipe cleaner to stick in and make a puppet, or if not you could glue a popsicle stick to the back. This is a great idea to use for my grandchildren! Those look like so much fun to make and to play with.

Yes it's cardboard as U say ! Thanks for the idea, I used another pieces of cardboard to create the holding stick but the pipe cleaner is such a good idea !

I think it's great you took the time and volunteer to teach art to children. Many times we are surprise at the things we learn from children. We look at the world through their eyes and see how wonderful the world can be.

Yes ! I totally agree with you, working with kids purifies the soul ! I think every one should try that every once in a while.
